Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for personalized (e.g., user specific) eye openness estimation are described. A network model (e.g., a convolutional neural network) may be trained using a set of synthetic eye openness image data (e.g., synthetic face images with known degrees or percentages of eye openness) and a set of real eye openness image data (e.g., facial images of real persons that are annotated as either open eyed or closed eyed). A device may estimate, using the network model, a multi-stage eye openness level (e.g., a percentage or degree to which an eye is open) of a user based on captured real time eye openness image data. The degree of eye openness estimated by the network model may then be compared to an eye size of the user (e.g., a user specific maximum eye size), and a user specific eye openness level may be estimated based on the comparison.
